Getting more minerals will help you look and feel better, especially after 40. The right minerals will reduce wrinkles, keep your skin hydrated, strengthen your bones, and ease stress, so you stay youthful inside and out. 

Mineral absorption declines sharply as you enter your mid-forties. That’s the most important time to start replenishing your mineral stores. Without them, aging will start to set in fast. 

Fortunately, a few well-placed minerals can keep you looking and feeling young. Let’s talk about the best anti-aging minerals, and how targeted mineral intake can help you age well.

Your skin also accumulates sun damage over the years. UV radiation from sunlight causes skin inflammation, leading to wrinkles and rough, uneven skin. [*] In fact, sun exposure is one of the leading causes of skin aging. [*]

Minerals can help with sun exposure. Certain minerals protect your skin from UV radiation and can even reverse existing sun damage. 

Here’s a look at the four best minerals for skincare, along with the research backing each one.

The 4 Best Minerals for Skincare

Getting more of these four key minerals can help you slow (or even reverse) skin aging. 

Minerals for Stress and Anti-Aging

Stress is one of the single biggest drivers of aging. [*] It physically damages your cells, causing your body to work less efficiently as you get older. 

Reducing stress, both mental and physical, is a powerful way to slow aging. [*] Lifestyle changes like exercise, good diet, and meditation are a big help. Minerals also play a key role. 

Magnesium is the most important mineral for stress relief. It’s your body’s first defense against stress. Magnesium calms your nervous system and controls cortisol, your main stress hormone. [*] When you’re stressed, your body uses up large amounts of magnesium to prevent damage and return you to a balanced, relaxed state. 

The problem is that if you’re consistently stressed, you’ll rapidly deplete magnesium—and once your magnesium is low, you’ll struggle to deal with future stress. [*] 

Magnesium deficiency also becomes more common after age 40. [*] Your body needs more of it to achieve the same anti-stress effects. About 60% of American adults don’t get enough magnesium. [*] If your levels are low, you’ll age much faster. 

Minerals typically work in pairs or trios on your body. When your magnesium falls, you’ll typically develop low potassium as well. [*] The two need each other to function—so if you want to ease stress and slow aging, you should restore both magnesium and potassium at the same time.

Minerals for Bone Density and Mobility

Bone mineral density is one of the most important parts of healthy aging. Your bones rely on three minerals to stay strong: calcium, phosphorus, and zinc. 

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in your body, and more than 99% of it is stored in your bones. [*] It keeps your skeleton strong and prevents fractures. You need lots of calcium in your bones to maintain mobility and avoid pain as you get older. 

Phosphorus is calcium’s partner. The two bond together to form the substance that makes up your bones, called hydroxyapatite. [*] If you’re low in either calcium or phosphorus, your bones will weaken and become less dense, putting you at risk of fracture. [*][*]

The trouble is that as you age, it becomes harder for your body to hold onto calcium and phosphorus. [*] If you don’t increase your mineral intake, your bone density will start to decline. [*]

You also need zinc to keep your bones strong. It plays a supporting role, speeding up bone formation and encouraging your bones to renew themselves faster. [*]

Bone density keeps you mobile and pain-free as you age—and the best way to maintain it is to get more calcium, phosphorus, and zinc.
